Cheating is a bit harsh. Presumptious or even arrogant in her presumtion, but not a cheat. Who'd do that with x many thousand spectators and TV watching every shot?

A concession has to be 'given' - the rest is just gamesmanship surely?
Who knows, perhaps this was a setup, American girl a known picker upper and an opportunity to get her to do it in the match, bide your time, make a confident stride away, after her first putt - Bingo!
Can't see the problem here. No way is 'walking away' a concession - verbal only!!!!!
End of.
Matchplay is a different game guys - it involves guile

Might well be finished in front of the media and Joe Public. But behind the scenes, nah.
A very poor incident indeed to happen in front of the worlds cameras, on such a large stage. Should never of happened.
summat that nots been mentioned is the day before, the players in the comp were being ripped to bits for slow play.
The following day a player picks up when players leave the green and it all kicks off.
sometimes your damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I think by Hull being perceived to be walking off the green, implied that the putt was given, Petterson was nowhere near here and arguably should've been standing next to Hull.
Clearly not the case, the decent thing to have done was to say, ok, but tell the match referee to spell it out that she must wait to be told it was a gimme in future.

I wouldn't say a concession has to be verbal. I would accept a player with what looks a gimme making a gesture and looking at his opponent who then nods or waves a hand in a way that clearly indicates yes, you can pick up. It' s very common. Indeed I saw that several times in the Walker Cup. But just walking away? No. The player could just be moving out of the way of his opponent's (unconceded) putt, for example.
